Mystery Of The Baby’s Death!

 

Hey dear Friends !

Sorry for not being around since few days. We had to revisit my village immediately . Actually some days back while we were sleeping my brother’s wife called and informed that something sad had happened . Almost two months ago when we have arrived in Islamabad, the eldest daughter of the my cousin (whom I have visited last year to attend the wedding ceremony of her daughter and son in the same time) called. She told she was calling from hospital where she had given birth to a healthy baby boy three days ago. She sounded very happy and excited while she invited us to her home when she would arrive home after discharge.I congratulated her and promised that we will visit her when we will come to the village. We kept our promise but the day we visited her she and her husband had gone to the hospital because baby had some health issue. We returned Islamabad after two days stay. And then few weeks later we got this sad call that baby had died at the age of one and a half and a month! We felt sad and shocked suddenly and left for the village immediately. We couldn’t attend the funeral though but being with grieving mother and grandmothers was a good feeling. I noticed that there were rumours  among the women regarding the death of the child. When I asked my cousin ( maternal grandmother of baby) reason behind it she explained during her cries that her sister (paternal grandmother of the child) had predicted that baby might not survive because he was born with condition in which he had only one wrist bone, and according to myth such babies don’t survive more than a month or some days. This was something totally unexpected and unfamiliar to me. I tried to search about it but couldn’t find a clue. Please share if anyone has some knowledge about such condition! Surprisingly when I told this to hubby he immediately agreed that yes he knew that children born with such conditions don’t survive. He said that may be inner bone structure don’t develop properly in such children unfortunately!

We returned home day before yesterday but I wasn’t feeling well enough to get back to my normal routine. I will be visiting you all from tomorrow hopefully dear friends! 

Thanks for being with me 🙏

Health,peace and happiness to you all and to all you love ♥️

For Sue ,a kind friend ♥️

Hello dear friends ♥️

Hope and pray that everyone is having blessed day by the grace of God!🙏

Our weather has taken a pleasant turn since it’s raining throughout the country including capital city Islamabad.  Temperatures are spinning around 35 to 24 c and you can imagine how it makes us happy and grateful 🥹🙏 Time is running speedily and days to get back to our hot city are getting closer. For the first time in life hubby and me don’t want to leave surprisingly 🤗. And it’s only because of the glassed wall that gives us strong feelings of connection with nature 🥹☺️🤗🥰🤗 it’s beautiful here with everything so perfect 🤗🙏 But we will be leaving for home before July ends anyway 😅. Sharing below glimpse of our little joys in previous week. 

Dear friend Sue and I keep in touch once a while . Sue is a wonderful person who participates in life to fullest by the grace of God! She and her husband John run some company related to computer systems. She teach badminton to younger students and writes for a magazine as well for which she has to go through different ways including interviewing people from various professions and backgrounds. She inspires every heart who is in love with life 🥰 Sue has mentioned once that she would like to see highlights of markets I visit here. So I have captured not some perfect but random pictures during our visit to Karachi company market,I  always wondered about this dislocated name of the market so when I googled about it this article showed up Karachi company . Thanks Sue for showing interest in our capital city ♥️. I will try to share some more photos in future. 

This year market seemed quite and lonesome because of CDS crack down of  illegal occupancy by  so many sellers. I realised that majority of the customers would prefer to buy from those cheap shops on midways and footpaths. Most of the shops had some,few or no customers. Hubby said the occupants will return by bribing the municipality because such changes don’t stay for long .

                             

         Bed sheets shop , I realised I never bought anything like this from here 

          

Most of the shop owners use the walking area as well for which they have to pay extra charges I guess 

         The samosa  and pakora shop , such shops have long queues during morning and evening hours 

Now, one of the lovely news , my dear friend Shazia visited us in our apartment and it made me so happy 🥰🤗 she came with her youngest son who is 20 years old and second year in university. Best thing she stayed for one night and two days which makes it longest period of time we spent together ever 😊 we had best time chatting 😍 

We visited the Centaurs Mall where we did some shopping and had ice cream after few years 😃 children ate pizza and chips with cold drinks as usual. This will stay with me for long 🥰

 

                           Taken another day in same market while hubby and me were taking tea 

                              Shot is taken in Safa Gold mall in Jinnah Super Market Islamabad

                                                  Karachi company market main entrance 

                                        Safa gold mall , embroidered shawls and other items 

                                                                 Toys shop in Safa gold mall 

          Safa gold mall has far smaller crowds than Centaurus Mall even after food court has been altered 

                      While paying on the counter i took this shot as view was truly captivating 

                                                         Jinna super Market main entrance 

         It was quick click while walking in the Golra market near by , it reminded me days when we would drink from clay pots in clay bowls,  though clay pots are things of the past now but clay things still fascinate and interest many of us even today including me 😊

Heartfelt thanks for bearing with me precious friends 🥰🙏

Health, peace and happiness to you all and to all you love 🥰🙏♥️♥️♥️

Across The Glass Wall Lies Natural Beauty And Natural Light!

Hey Sweet Hearts 🥰 

Hope and pray that all is well with you and yours 🙏

We are fine but little sad that younger son had to leave for the university for some subjects issues. He tried hard that matter can be solved online but it couldn’t. We see off him last night on national bus terminal. We asked him to return if issue is resolved soon.Let’s hope for the better!🤞

Since it’s raining once in while here we are feeling grateful for lovely weather which is just a dream in Sindh where we live ☹️

Believe it or not for the first time in my life I am not missing my beautiful home .And this is because apartment has a one whole wall made up of glass facing gorgeous margalla hills and I don’t want to leave this most missed sight of my life as you know I grew up in home facing beautiful hills 🥹 sharing few lovely things we experienced while sipping our tea together .

As I used to mention in many of the my old posts that sparrows were in abundance in my native town along with robins and starlings. During winters our village would have lots of  migratory birds from colder parts of the world. I missed having sparrows around too often in Sindh province after my marriage . Watching sparrows close by was a kind of an emotional experience 🥹🥰♥️

This one is taken on different day while having morning tea (around 11am)  two pigeons flew in the balcony and sat in the perfect position 🥰 I captured the beautiful moment without wasting any time 🤗

It was becoming a consistent feeling to reconnecting with life I used to live once 😊♥️

I captured the first rainy day after our arrival here , the rain didn’t just washed the entire view but seemed to water our souls starving to see rain fall ☺️🥰♥️

The beauty of this apartment is mostly due to the glass wall that connects me with nature . When curtains are removed natural light brightens everything and my heart feels eternal peace  🥹

This keeps us calm mentally so urge for daily outings lessens automatically. But we go for evening walks regularly though when my legs feel much tired we take one day off. Walk from here to the central market is 5km almost so you can say we walk ten km after each one day break. Me and hubby doing our exercises daily morning as well which means stronger legs ready to walk.

At night watching tv is together is the option. We are unable to tune Netflix for some reason. So I tried and found out an old drama of popular channel Hum tv run in 2024  which I have skipped. It turned out to be A beautiful drama drama actually with lots of messages needed badly by our society! We watched last episode last night. We all felt inspired by the story and the way it was played on screen. Even our youngest son didn’t missed the single scene of this show which reveals the strength of a great project.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me precious friends 🥰♥️🙏

Thinking of you all with love and prayers in my heart for you and yours🙏🥰

God Bless you all 🙏🥰♥️♥️♥️
